Adam Frankenstein
(a.k.a. The Creature)
2.5 (?) - he/him - 8"0 - Pisces
After burning down the DeLacey's family cottage, the creature saves the life of a woman after she nearly drowns in a river rapid, but he's shot by her male companion and fleas further into the woods. Injured and alone he resolves to find his creator to demand justice, but his plans change when the woman he saved returns to thank him. Now he finds himself in unfamiliar territory with someone who isn't afraid of his appearance and wants to be his friend.
Evelyn Shaw
23 - she/her - 5"5 - Scorpio
Having grown up in a remote farming community, Evelyn only had her siblings and books for escape from the dullness of her day to day life. Possessing a passionate and independent soul, she never thought she'd meet someone who understood her. But that all changes when she falls into a river and is saved by a mysterious man with piercing yellow eyes. Knowing he's somewhere out there terribly injured she sets out to thank him for rescuing her.

Description of main characters in first draft stories often fall into two wide categories — far too little or way too much. Writers see their characters and they want their readers to see them, too. However, sometimes they can go too far in description, especially in the main character.
What? Don’t you want the reader to see the main character just as he or she is? Yes, you do. However, you need to consider two things about readers. First, they have vivid imaginations and can ‘see’ characters without every detail drawn in. Second — and the more important of the two — the reader wants to connect with the main character in some way. This may mean that she wants to see the character as herself or she may want to imagine the character as a favorite star. If you give too much description, you erase that connection.

How to write: ethnicity & skin colour
requested by: anonymous request: How exactly can I describe a characters ethnicity/skin color casually, without it sounding like a specific scene that just exists to describe the skin color? I hope this makes sense lmao… I just want to write a scene where I casually mention someone’s ethnicity or skin color
description of appearance: No matter if skin colour or hairstyle or clothes, a text is more dynamic if you don't dedicate an entire scene/paragraph to it but rather sprinkle the necessary information in here and there. However, there can be instances where it's conducive to the plot to put that entire paragraph (e.g. introducing a new important character with backstory). Otherwise, I'd say try to keep it short and put it where it serves the plot.
ways to incorporate...
... a description of appearance:
when a character makes their first entrance (describe everyone's colouring - POCs' and white characters')
the impression their complexion makes together with their clothes: "the bright yellow of their shirt complemented their dark skin"
the way their colouring interacts with lighting: "the grey weather took away the rosy hue of their fair skin"
when appearances create a contrast: "I immediately noticed them because they were the only other black person"
... ethnicity:
let the characters mention it where it makes sense
regarding the narrator you've chosen for your story, it can also be blended into an inner monologue
include parts of their culture: traditions, terms, family, etc. (this also allows to bring up their ethnicity repeatedly over the story and not only at the beginning)
show their struggles: are they affected by social struggles? then show it!
words to use to describe skin colour:
... basic colour descriptions:
brown
black
beige
white
pink
... more specific colours (try sticking to familiar/common words that can be easily visualised):
amber
bronze
copper
gold
ochre
terracotta
sepia
sienna
porcelain
tan
... prefixes or modifiers (can be easily combined with basic colours):
dark
rich
warm
deep
fair
faint
light
cool
pale
... undertones (pre-dominant colours underneath the skin - often warm or cool, sometimes also neutral and olive):
yellow
orange
coral
golden
silver
rose
pink
red
blue
... avoid food analogies as it's often received as offending, fetishising, and/or objectifying.
That's all I can provide as of now but I'm sure you guys have aspects to contribute. I'm very interested to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to add to this post whatever you like to/can share <3
And for more information, maybe also check out @writingwithcolor for more specialised posts on the topic <3
Very tempted to try and make a design for Ishmael, but I don’t think we ever receive any physical description of him🤔
Introducing Rose! Sans, an UNDERTALE Out! Code character— a character who lives outside the boundaries of their AU (if they have one) and wanders across the multiverse.
BACKSTORY:
Rose! Sans was created with one sole purpose; wander and observe each and every AU.
He fulfills his duty to soothe his hungry, yearning curiosity for adventure, as well as gathering essential information for his creator, a fandom fanatic named Miss Rose, who is in the process of making a logbook of every UNDERTALE AU in the multiverse. This special logbook would serve as a future book of inspiration for Miss Rose, who plans on making the perfect AU for Rose! Sans using all the concepts and ideas gathered from all the other AUs.
Rose! Sans currently does not have his own AU, so he spends his free time (when he’s not on duty) in a personalized void he calls “The Garden of Memories”, which in short is a void filled with a vast stash of items, antiques and other bizarre things he found in his adventures in other AUs. Miss Rose also spends her time in the void, usually chatting with Rose! Sans or filling her logbook with a cup of tea by her side.
Rose! Sans, when fulfilling his work in wandering and observing AUs, he cannot, at any cost, interact with any of the AUs’ characters. This might result in the AU changing their course of storyline due to the realization of his presence and may possibly end up ruining the AU itself.
He usually spends his time in the shadows, hidden from sight from the characters, and sneaks stealthily around the little nooks and crannies of the AU. He sketches out in a little note pad the environment of each location in the AUs and notes the general themes displayed in all of them, as well as exploring hidden secrets in each tiny spot. His favourite places to spend his time are in the Waterfall areas of the underground of the AU, as it makes him feel at ease and at peace with himself, helping him calm down from his sometimes overwhelming job.
He observes each character from afar, writing down quick notes on their dialogues and their unique attitudes and behaviourism. He often feels lonely knowing he could never talk or even be noticed by to them, despite him knowing and relating so much to them, but he perseveres despite his yearns to be heard and carries on. He’s not completely alone, however, as he has Miss Rose and other Out! Codes he can talk to.
Miss Rose, one day, hesitantly accepted Rose! Sans’s pleads to interact with the Out! Codes, and after her millionth worried mom lecture on how he should be careful around them since they’re the most powerful beings in the multiverse and blah blah blah, he was free to interact with them. Like a child being allowed to a sleepover, Rose! Sans squealed with glee and quickly headed off to see his future Out! Code allies…
PERSONALITY (TL;DR at end of section):
Rose! Sans a naturally curious individual, and he always looks forward to adventures that may come his way. He’s not reckless, however, since he is quite prudent when it comes to putting himself or others in danger, an example being not being seen by characters in other AUs to maintain harmony in the AU.
Rose! Sans sometimes thinks a bit too highly of himself, and he may come off as a bit of a bragger due to him being showered with love and praise from Miss Rose all the time, as well as the underlying fact that he’s been on his own for most of his life, but he does genuinely care for the people close to him and he puts his needs aside to help others in dire need. This strong loyalty makes him a bit gullible at times, due to him not having much social experience with others as he cannot pick up a few undertones and red flags in discussions, making him an easy prey to manipulative enemies and an annoyance to sarcastic people.
Rose! Sans is a very talkative and is an overall energetic individual, yet surprisingly and contradictorily enough, he’s shy. He, due to not having talked to many people, can come off as a bit aloof and snobby at first, but once you get to know and understand him better, he slowly reveals his secret bubbly and ecstatic self, almost completely changing his behaviour towards others in the span of a few hours. With mutual acquaintances or strangers, he acts very awkwardly and can come off as strange. Due to him only having few but very close friends, he puts all his efforts into them and can be too trusting, which is yet another thing that manipulators can take advantage of.
Rose! Sans is a good listener and can empathize well with others (even despite his small narcissistic hints) since his whole purpose is to observe, so if you ever need someone to vent to, he’s here. He’ll happily keep your secrets, too!
TL;DR: Overall, Rose! Sans is a curious, adventurous, energetic, sometimes naive and braggy, but caring individual who is loyal to the bone!
RELATIONSHIPS:
Miss Rose:
Rose! Sans has a mother-son and best-friend relationship with Miss Rose, him being her own creation, after all. They’re very at ease in each other’s presence and they often joke and poke fun around their void, talking joyously about everything and of nothing. Their favourite thing to do together is obsess over various films and fandoms by chatting non-stop about their character crushes. They both like to draw together and occasionally write stories of the things they’ve seen in the multiverse.
Miss Rose, being a motherly figure to Rose! Sans, often gets worried and anxious for the safety of her creation and frequently gives him many lectures and incessant questioning about the dangers of the multiverse, much to Rose! Sans’ annoyance. He doesn’t mind them that much but he often wishes she would just get the hint that he’s gotten the point and stay quiet. Still, he loves her nonetheless and they continue on with their bizarre shenanigans without a care in the world.
Ink! Sans (created by @myebi ):
He and Ink! Sans are almost like brothers and they like to hang out with each other. Much like Rose! Sans and Miss Rose, they are at ease with each other’s presence and they both serve as each other’s playmate and occasional partner-in-crime. The two of them like to participate in artistic activities, mostly drawing and writing, but recently, Ink! Sans has introduced him to the basics of playing the flute. Rose! Sans is not very good at it yet, but he’s slowly getting there!
Both of them like teasing Error! Sans and playing around with him, much to Error’s already ongoing deep frustration with Ink, but Rose! Sans still maintains a healthy friendship with him, unlike Ink! Sans. He finds himself being the peacemaker between the two when things get too heated between the creator and the destroyer, and he ends up being the one cleaning the mess they make during their fights. He wishes sometimes they could just get along, and has at multiple occasions tried to get them to be friendlier, yet despite his efforts, it truly never works out and ends up in disappointment.
Rose! Sans has never been a victim to Ink! Sans’s empty and emotionless side, since they have been on pretty good terms most of the time, but he feels unnerved and actually a bit frightened when he sees that side of him in action, mostly during his and Error’s fights. He tries not to aggravate Ink! Sans when it happens and maintains his distance. He doesn’t hold this side against him, though, since he knows it’s uncontrollable. He lets Ink! Sans vent to him when his emotion-vials are refilled and if sadness gets the best of him.
Overall, they are good friends and they help each other grow.
Error! Sans (created by @loverofpiggies )
At first, the two of them never really interacted since Rose! Sans only really met him when Ink! Sans properly introduced him to Error, so before that, they only glanced and waved (Rose! Sans waved) when they saw each other. Then, Rose! Sans, after being introduced, became a mutual friend of his and they would occasionally chat about what they were doing in the multiverse. Rose! Sans is not very fond about what Error! Sans does with his duties, being in disapproval about the fact he destroys AUs, which can be a hassle for him when he works on discovering AUs, but he lets him be and accepts him for that. Error! Sans finds him a bit of a tiresome person when he doesn’t get his sarcasm since he can’t pick up undertones in social discussions, but he doesn’t mind much. They didn’t interact much aside from those infrequent chats.
Once Rose! Sans and Ink! Sans started playing around with Error! Sans, the two became closer in a regard that they saw each other more often and they talked more, despite Error! Sans being annoyed by him. Error! Sans grew to respect him after a bit when he realized it was Rose! Sans who prevented a lot of the arguments between him and Ink! Sans, which was a great relief to Error at times when he got extremely tired of seeing him. Rose! Sans respects his stoic and introverted nature, and he admires his quiet and peaceful lifestyle in the Antivoid.
Rose! Sans can intuitively detect when Error! Sans needs his space or when he needs to vent, which makes the both of them on good terms since Error! Sans feels that someone finally understands him. Similarly, Error! Sans understands the pain Rose! Sans feels when he can’t talk to anyone he’s seen due to his work, since he too is solitary in his work, and he helps him deal with that. During their vents, they’re normally in Outer! Tale, their favourite AU, looking up at the stars and sobbing it out. They care for each other and are there to comfort one another when the other feels lost or down.
They’re close friends and they help each other when they’re in despair.
Dream! Sans (created by @jokublog )
Rose! Sans and Dream! Sans have a mutual relationship.
Rose! Sans was introduced to him by Ink! Sans, and the two of them found one another pleasant (though Rose! Sans found Dream! Sans a bit too happy for his likes), yet they never truly established a concrete friendship unlike Rose! Sans and Error! Sans. Maybe this was because they never really talked after that since they were so busy with their other works that they didn’t get the time to talk. This means that, since they’re a mutual relationship, Rose! Sans would turn shy with him.
As they drifted, whenever Rose! Sans saw him, he would act aloof or awkward in his presence and would often slip with his words on accident. Dream! Sans finds this strange but never really thought much of it, assuming maybe he had a crush on him or he was just like that normally.
Overall, they are neutral and don’t have many social ties.
Paperjam (created by 7goodangel)
Rose! Sans and Paperjam find each other interesting and they admire one another from afar. Rose! Sans originally discovered him on his own when exploring the Antivoid, and they both just stared at each other for a bit before Rose! Sans initiated conversation. It took a while for the two of them to open up, the both of them being not socially developed— Paperjam being hardheaded and Rose! Sans being awkward— but after a bit of chatting, they found that they liked each other a lot and grew to be good friends.
Rose! Sans admires him since he’s looking for self-discovery after his creation from Error and Ink! Sans, and he supports his perseverance all the way. He admires his stubbornness and finds him cute when he tries impossible stunts. He let Paperjam vent about his past, and Paperjam found that he was one of the only people to actually care for him, so now he happily treats him like a big brother.
Paperjam admires Rose! Sans’s work, finding it cool and fun and dangerous, and wishes to join him on his adventures. Rose! Sans always profusely refuses to let Paperjam come for the sake of his own safety and the AU’s, but Paperjam will never. stop. insisting. He also admires Rose! Sans’ empathy and energy, and he likes playing with him and sketching in the Antivoid.
Rose! Sans once took Paperjam to The Garden of Memories, which was originally very precisely organized, and let’s just say that it ended up looking like a dumpster by the end of it… very messy.
Miss Rose and Rose! Sans gave Paperjam a little angry chastisement about his recklessness, to which Paperjam rudely rolled his pinpricks to, but he soon truthfully apologized and helped fix it back to the way it was before his storm of craziness. Since then, Rose! Sans and Miss Rose have given him tips on proper social conduct. He has since learned to be slightly more polite and good-mannered, though he still remains as heardheaded as usual.
Overall, Paperjam and Rose! Sans have a brotherly friendship, with Rose! Sans serving as a big-brother figure to Paperjam.
(More characters and information will be added soon! My hands are starting to get tired, plus this post is getting too long… 😅)
